Looking for a writer for a Major Sports Talk show in Southern California

What ANY talk show needs is a local newspaper so they can rip and rant. If newspapers die, a whole lot of radio blowhards are not going to know what to say.

 

No, they'll just read blogs and message boards instead and then BS their way through like they do now. Those of us who work in radio and actually have sources and do our own reporting will likely look to do a little more work at breaking news than we have previously. In a post-newspaper media world there will be an opportunity to stake out extra credibility that way.

 

I am still waiting for a response from them. I did get a response from someone else who wanted me to host a show on their station for 60 dollars and our and I get to keep the ad revenue. I told them they are on crack if they expect me to pay to host a show... American Radio Networks anyone?

 

There's a post on jjobs now from the Jim Rome show. Must be the same thing.

I wonder how many "clones" will be interviewing for this job? I admit, I used to listen to his show a lot (I painted houses during the summers while in school) and who ever wrote/continues to write his stuff wouldn't make it as a "reporter" but s/he is skilled in his/her own way. It was entertaining.

 

I still think this is BS. I know the "smack-off" is coming up (around the time of the expiration of the job listing). Perhaps someone is looking for material. Why wouldn't the e-mail site be the production company for the show?

 

Or maybe that is when they are going to be in need of material
